MAMMOTH. Dec. 25th. 1887

MAMMOTH, Dec. 25th, 1887.
 DEAR ENTERPRISE. this, our natal day, 1 wish the good people of Florence Peace on Earth and good will to man, (which includes all good Florentines.)
 was raised in the world to respect all good people, and after recent visit at florence can vouch for the goodness of those ot whom l sing.
 Corporal Muldoon, however, says: I quote him verbatim--'' 'Eny man who will go to Florence and blow in his hard earn- ed wages against gin, had ought to be kicked to death by jackass, and I'd like to do it.
 Speaking of jackasses reminds me, as my friend A. Ward used to say. E. D. Payne, who was in Florence as a juryman, left there last Sunday on the hurricane deck of female burro. Payne IS prospector, has been in this section two years and Is suspected as being non eompos mentis; as he has not reached home to date grave fears are entertained by his friends that he has. gone astray somewhere between Florence and River side and perished. This had ought to be inquired into by the authorities.
 It may be, as a certain learned and Judge neatly remarked in my presen ce, ''there is no whiskey on the San Pedro, , The Judge spoke from what he thought he saw, but good judges are liable to be mistaken and l can safely say that Geo. F. Cook has some.
 Chauncy Buzon, foreman for the San Pedro Cattle Co.,, says he quit Florence even.
 The development on the Mammoth mine is progressing finely.
 Prof. Barnhart has additional means to prosecute furt her developments on the Sample mine.
 The Southern Belle will start upon the 1st, and everything will be lovely. J ust the same as your respected correspond ent, PoLLED ANGUS.

A Worthy OfTiciaI.

Hon. Thomas Gates, Superintendent of the penitentiary at Yuma, has returned to his post of duAy, fully restored to health. He very kindly remembered the guard, Mir. Hartlee, whose unerring aim brought down the desperate convicts who were so cruelty murdering MT. Gates in their attempt to escape, and he made that trusted official present of handsome Winchester rife with Marlin loader, as slight testimonial of his esteem and gratitude.
 MT. Gates management of the prison has been above criticism, and by his firm devotion to duty ard impartial exerclse of his aut hority he has won friends and commendation throughout the Territory And when he was stricken down by the assassin and his life hung by ! slender thread, not only was the dreadful news received with sincere sorrow, but expressions of sympathy were poured in upon him and kind hands went to his bedside to administer to his needs and assuage his sufferings The Yuma Senti- nel, soon after the outbreak, spoke of these klnd offerings as follows, and the encomiums were fully deserved:
 HOnldS OhlcS COuuIb HIS ITlenQb Dy the score, and right royalty is he deserv- ing of them all, and even more. When the news flashed over the wires of his wounding, messages by the hundred were sent to him. The Sentinel takes the liberty of publishing couple of the large number received. The following was received from Governor C. Meyer Zulick: Have just learned of your misfortune Stevens and Handy en route. My sym pathics and hopes are with you. Only brave men fall at posts of duty Courage my friend" Hon L. w. Blinn and Col. J. A. Muir, telegraphed. "We both sympathize most deeply with you in you trouble and hope you will re- cover soon, but we feel very proud of your action which shows the character, that your friends o much admire in you Equally kind and encouraging were the messages received from Hon. T. D. Mott, Col. E E. Hewitt, and MT. Hancock Nj. Johnston of Los Angeles, and Major Fred w. Smith of Tucson. MT. Gates is rapidly recovering and within few weeks it is to be hoped will be ready for duty again. Not only Mir. Gates friends feel proud of his courage and irmness, but the entire Territory recognizes in him a capable efficient and fearless officer"

Will Continue Business.

An impression seems to prevail that since the death of that worthy and es- teemed citizen, MT. J. D. Rittenhouse, his business would not continue, Yes terday afternoon an ENTERPRISE reporter called on MT. J. H. Hull the adminis- trator and MT. r. 0. Calderon the man. ager of the estate, and inquired as to the facts of the case. The scribe was not only informed but fully convinced, that the estate will continue the busi- ness and on a larger scale than hereto fore. A walk through the spacious store and ware houses revealed stock of goods that was simply immense, and while looking over this vast aggregation of manufactures, comprising staples, novelties, fancy goods and sundries, too numerous to mention, he was surprised at the arrival of two six-horse teams with flour and staple groceries. During the conversation he learned that still further additions are to be made to the stock and that genuine surprise is in store for he people in the near future. That their trade is larger, there is no doubt, as the large retinue of employees are on the jump; in fact if slang ex- pression may be allowed, "there are no flies on them" Just at this time he happened to be in dangerous proximity to barrel of Old Hermitage, for which this house is celebrated, but he was as sured that it would not bite and he can affirm this fact, for when ihis nectar of the Gods guroled down thirsty throat, visions of Allah's Heaven foated before him. Business calling him elsewhere he reluctantly departed but was fully i'm pressed that Florence has in it's midst a store and firm that can and wall supply the wants of Pinal county.

MT. H. G. Ballou has been making ex- perimentS in the preservation of eggs for an indefinite length of time and he has so far succeeded that last week he opened a lot that were packed ten months ago and found every one sound and good. The writer also tested a number of these eggs and found them in perfect state of preservation. When eggs can be kept perfectly fresh for ten months and through the hot summer there is hope that the supply may be brought to more equalize the demand and the merchants be enabled to keep full stock on hand at all seasons. MT. Ballou has promised the ENTERPRIsE full description of his process, which is certainly wol thy of l, general trial.

By simple process Mr. Thomas Gates has produced a cheap preparation for plastering adobe buildings that promises to become a valuable discovery. He uses clay that is dried and pulverized and afterwards mixed with linseed oil and perhaps other ingredients. This is plastered on the adobe walls and it forms hard and durable coating, inn pervious to water and neat in appear ance. He caused portion of the pen itentiary walls to be coated with it and during the heavy rains of last summer this portion withstood the storm without showing the least wear while the portions not so treated were seriously washed out
 Its severe trial has proven it to be a very valuable discovery and one that will not only add to the durability of the adobe buildings, but to their appearance as well.

There was little cutting scrape last Sunday between Julian Tiembres and Abran Loronio, both Mexicans and both drunk. Tiembres had made a cut at Loronio with big knife, but only suc- ceeded in giving him scratch when they were separated. Later on Loronio went up to Tiembres and slashed him
 across the throat with pocket knife, causing only . slight wound. When they sobered up Loronio was not to be found and the wounded man refused to swear out warrant for his apprehension.

This item is going the rounds: The man who sits in the corner of an old lot and waits for an old COW to back up to be milked will go without milk all his days. The man who prays, "Give us this day our daily bread," and then sits down to his table waiting for the Lord to come to put bread in his plate, will surely starve to death. And the people who close their doors, as it were, and expect prosperity to force an entrance into their house, will croak hard times until the devil claims his dues You must work for your bread if you wish to eat. And you must open your doors and invite prosperity if you expect she will es CT come near you.
